Have you ever experienced this problem? Hit reply and let me know!

@lisaswift8081 5 лет назад

Yes, I've had this problem and it did baffle me. 4weeks into keto I was getting negative or trace results on the sticks. So this video has been enlightening, as I have and still am, losing weight. Also I have more stable energy, but still find I have trouble sleeping. I think I'm doing all the right things, so time to put the sticks away. Thanks for this channel it's really helpful

@riyamanugeorge 4 года назад

I lost 12 kgs now.I started keto diet two months back now urine ketone is showing negative.

@Marlene5018 4 года назад

I started keto on December Second and I lost 5 pounds in two weeks. This is the first time that I lost to many pounds in short time. Before this it took me like five months to loose 5 pounds. In total I lost 10 pounds. I bought stripes to test ketosis but came negative. My cloth is getting loose and my body is turning nice.

@Julia-en9xq 4 года назад

Yes. Unless I am in the midst of a multi-day fast, the keto sticks show little or no ketones.. I have been doing Keto for going on 5 months, and have had a steady weight loss.. I miss that dark purple reading, but know that I am still on track..

WOW I really needed to hear this. My urine ketone levels dropped off. I also noticed that the PH levels in my urine had dropped a bit, (from 5.5 to 5.0) but I never considered it to be related. Thanks so much, I've only been keto since September 21, and bounced out of ketosis around the holidays. I really thought I had done something wrong and was going to start counting every carb again like when I started. Thanks again, and keep doing what you're doing.

@christopherwilliams822 4 года назад

Thanks for the information. I have lost more than 50 pounds in 4 months. I tried urine testing strips with no indications of ketosis. I have for the last 4 months massively reduced my carbohydrate and protein intake. I have lost the allmost continuous impulse to eat that once was there. I still find this to be remarkable. I feel very good and sharper mentally. Also pain in my knee and shoulder have reduced to low very low levels. Keep the protein intake down to 1 or two ounces or 25 to 50 grams. Any protein more than this is converted to sugars. Thanks again for your reassuring and informative video.

Thank you for enlightening me because I was so frustrated that the ketone sticks show I'm no longer in ketosis since going carnivore. I have been full carnivore for 5 weeks and down 12 lbs. and I've been keto since last Thanksgiving and down 42.4 lbs since then. I feel amazing and have greatly improved my bloodwork profile since starting keto and will be retested at the end of September with 2 full months on carnivore. So, we'll see the difference in my bloodwork profile soon.

After 4 months doing keto with strict net carb control, got my strips. Try #1 in the morning was 0.5, #2, 3, 4 too, #5 was 1.5 after my only meal of the day. The next day I was negative and desperate 🤣 I guess having been on intermittent fasting for 2 years got me into ketosis very quickly and my body mostly knew what to do with ketones already. Thank you for this video, straight to the point!

I can literally get into Ketosis in 1 - 2 days.. then all if a sudden... nothing. Now it makes since... because I was in Ketosis last week and then nothing... I didn't change my diet and went more strict. HOWEVER, I was having Fibromyalgia flare ups 🤦🏾‍♀️. I will stay on Keto, it has become a way of life. It is just so frustrating.
